Review:
"Here is an authoritative, readable set designed to present the history of computers and reflect on their purpose, use, and impact today. Nearly 300 entries are organized in four volumes, usually with black- and-white illustrations, photos, or charts. Signed entries are two to four pages long and often include sidebars, definitions for terms or concepts, see also references, and bibliographies with a handful of contributors...High-School and public libraries where there is emphasis on technology may want to add this set for its detailed coverage of people, concepts, and applications."
